KAIS began as Adventist International Mission School Korat (AIMS-Korat) after Korat parents advocated opening an Adventist international school in Nakhon Ratchasima. Sixteen students were enrolled in the first year at a rented, renovated kindergarten facility. In 2015, AIMS-Korat was owned and managed by Thailand Adventist Mission, and a new 9-rai campus was purchased in 2016; the school moved to the new campus in 2019 after a 2018 groundbreaking. The school's licensing expanded over time (grades 1–3 licensed in 2009, K1–3 in 2010, 4–6 in 2011, 7–9 in 2015, 10–12 in 2018) and WASC accreditation followed in 2017; on January 18, 2021 the name changed to Korat Adventist International School (KAIS) and it was officially registered on September 27, 2021.
KAIS has a diverse community with over 200 students and more than 10 nationalities. The KAIS Christmas Program (The Promise Fulfilled) is a major annual event that involves families and the broader school community. Pathfinder and Adventurer Induction ceremonies demonstrate active parent involvement in student clubs. Field trips and seasonal activities, such as Bible Quest and Environmental Awareness Day, are regular features of KAIS life. Public pages also show community events like the Petanque Competition and the Korat Education Expo Gallery that engage students, families, and staff.
